ALT Mix It Up “One Year Later | Part 1/2” community update on a purple, star-filled background. The message reflects on the project’s uncertain position one year ago and thanks Patreon members for keeping it running, moderators and support volunteers for helping creators, and a community that has nearly doubled in size. Over the past year, Mix It Up shipped 123 features, including 3 new platform integrations, fixed 122 bugs, made 49 performance, accessibility, and quality-of-life improvements, delivered 62 updates, handled 2,296 support tickets, and launched a new website with integrated documentation. It also thanks community members testing the next generation of Mix It Up for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Early builds are expected for Patreon members within the next week or two. Continued in Part 2.

ALT Mix It Up “One Year Later | Part 2/2” community update on a purple, star-filled background. The message goes on to say that the project’s rapid growth has created more work than one person can reasonably sustain. A one-time two-month leave from a day job was spent working over 400 hours on Mix It Up, yet the backlog remained. Two goals are set for the next year: finish and ship the next generation of Mix It Up on every planned platform, and reach enough financial support for full-time development and at least one additional staff member. If every community member contributed one dollar per month, less than half the cost of a Prime subscription, that financial goal would be met. The message stresses that no one is expected to contribute and invites ideas such as Patreon benefits, partnerships, or other support options. It closes by thanking the community for helping Mix It Up move from surviving to planning what comes next.
